Or, The Old Fashion and the New. By Sarah Tytler. With 8 full-page Illustrations by C. T. Garland. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, $1·50.
A story specially adapted for girls, told in that quaint delightful fashion which has made Miss Tytler's former books so popular and attractive. The characters of the Girl Neighbours Sapientia (Pie) Stubbs, and Harriet (Harry) Cotton, who may be said respectively to illustrate the old and the new fashioned method of education, are admirably delineated; and the introduction of the two young ladies from London, who represent the modern institutions of professional nursing and schools of cookery, is very happily effected. The story possesses abundant humour and piquant descriptions of character.
"One of the most effective and quietly humorous of Miss Tytler's stories. Girl Neighbours is a healthy comedy, not so much of errors as of prejudices got rid of, very healthy, very agreeable, and very well written."—Spectator.
"Girls will find it very interesting. The illustrations are very good; the frontispiece, especially, possesses a delicacy of execution not often met with in books of this class."—School Guardian.

THE WIGWAM AND THE WAR-PATH:
Stories of the Red Indians. By Ascott R. Hope. With 8 full-page Pictures by Gordon Browne, in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, $1·50.
The interest taken by boys in stories of the North American Indians is probably as keen as ever. At all events the works of Fenimore Cooper and other writers about the red men and the wild hunters of the forests and prairies are still among the most popular of boys' books. "The Wigwam and the War-path" consists of stories of Red Indians which are none the less romantic for being true. They are taken from the actual records of those who have been made prisoners by the red men or have lived among them, joining in their expeditions and taking part in their semi-savage but often picturesque and adventurous life.
